I agree - for someone who is currently trying to learn with one of the basic mass produced whistles this is a great option with a real person checking each one out the door. For the “price of admission” it is a really good value for either the newer player who is having trouble with the great variation most of us encountered with the Generations, Waltons, etc. I would expect most will find them very easy to get used to quickly.
I bought three metal whstles before finally getting a tweaked Generation. I could play that pretty well right away, a lot better later. Then all of a sudden I could play some of the ones I had trouble with.
Certainly the equal of the tweaked metal Generations I have, but a lot prettier, and a clearer tone that I prefer. Some people might like the chiff that Generations produce, I like a clearer tone, just a personal preference.
